When does the Secret Service Association speak and stop working for free? Theyā€™re not that essential.

Only if they keep him from gorging on Big Macs and adderall.

Hmmm. I just read that itā€™s supposed to suppress the appetite. And from WebMD:

This combination medication is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - ADHD. It works by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine belongs to a class of drugs known as stimulants. It can help increase your ability to pay attention, stay focused on an activity, and control behavior problems. It may also help you to organize your tasks and improve listening skills.

Welp, guess not.

He is huge. I saw some of the footage of him today. I bet heā€™s gained 30-40 lbs since taking office.

Any chance he has built a tolerance to it? From the way things have gone, he is a dosage ahead of the prescription at least.

Itā€™s the FBI Agentā€™s Association, not the SS. And more importantly, they may very well be ā€œessentialā€ because of the nature of their work. I can think a myriad reasons FBI agents hurting for money to sustain their families are indeed a national security threat from both domestic and foreign operatives. And thatā€™s without any mention of their ongoing actions/activities that wonā€™t wait for Trump to stop his temper tantrum. The potential for something happening during the shutdown that wouldnā€™t have otherwise are actually almost certain imo.

When it comes to a manufactured crisis, that is my gold standard for comparison. We destroyed a functioning country with this. It looks like they are trying to do the same, except this time, on our home turf.

The president of the United States of America is causing immense material harm to the United States of America and its residents every single day. Surely that is an impeachable offense, and in fact criminal. How long before this moron criminal is in prison? Arrest the motherfucker already.

Ah, for the good old days when J. Edgar Hoover would have just pulled Trump into his office, shown him copies of all the Kompromat the FBI had on him, and instructed him to re-open government before the files were accidentally left where a reporter would find themā€¦

Iā€™ve been on Adderall for many years and you do build up some tolerance. I take breaks from it when Iā€™m not doing things that require me to be on the top of my game. That seems to help with the tolerance.

And letā€™s not forget that some of the special agents are needed to support the Mueller investigation, and we do not want that slowed down.
